Farming Simulator 17 “Failed. No access to profile” error

The camera always spins around

Some steering wheels have separated axis for the accelerator and the brake pedal. For this reason, the camera often spins around hectically when you play with your steering wheel since Farming Simulator 17 only uses one axis for the pedals.

To prevent the camera from spinning around, combine the axis inside the steering wheel configuration.

If the camera spins around without user input, disconnect all gamepads and driving wheels from your computer, wait for a few seconds and then plug them back in.

Error: Could not init 3D System

Download and install the OpenGL Extensions Viewer. Run it and check your OpenGL version on the first page. If the value is smaller then 4.0, this means that your GPU doesn’t have Shader Model 3.0, the driver is too old or is not correctly installed. In this case, uninstall all graphics drivers and try to reinstall the newest driver.
